Mountain Bike
This is a quick one. I learned this trick in mountain biking some months ago and it works like a charm. To corner with confidence and speed, lean the bike over—a lot, like borderline unnatural. This plants the side knobs into the ground and gives you insane stability. Works

I did not actually build this custom bike myself. I went the luxury route: I had my local bike shop build it up. I started mountain biking in 2003 with the hills around Zurich as my home turf under the expert bike guiding skills of Yves. I was pretty happy

It all started when I was about 15 years old. I had gotten into road cycling and joined the local cycling club. I was inspired to get into cycling by my uncle, my mother's younger brother. He would do crazy things (at least I thought so when I

There are so many great rides in the Swiss Alps that I usually don't ride the same route twice. This one, however, I had to: I didn't finish it the first time around. At the first attempt, I was too slow. The downhill to Langwies fell

These are pictures from the awesome mountain bike ride I did last Tuesday. The Welschtobel downhill is epic!
After an early wave of magazine-apps when the iPad was launched we’ve now been mostly left to mediocre or downright bad user experiences in these types of apps. No wonder they haven’t been successful. The example I’ll expand on here is the Harvard Business Review (HBR). Let’
Less is more is a powerful notion. But it’s deeper than that. Redefining an experience in a unique way is how you beat the market leader.The “blah blah blah on steroids”B I J A NB I J A N

A bit late for birthday wishes – but anyway: HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY MACINTOSH! And it’s the best opportunity for at least the next 10 years to tell the story of how I met the Mac – the biggest technology love of my life. It’s 1986, I’m nine years old

During the last couple of days one theme has been coming up so often, that it can’t be a coincidence: a successful business is nothing more and nothing less than one possible solution to a complex maths problem. Random data points are no mathematical proof, but here you go
In a brief burst of nostalgia after Microsoft announced they are going to buy Nokia, I thought of all the beloved Nokia phones I’ve owned. I searched them all on the web and put together this list. 1. 1999 – Nokia 3210 2. 2003 – Nokia 6210 black 3. 2003 – Nokia
Microsoft logo history (copyright http://techenjoy.com) So today Microsoft announced a huge reorganization and you can find this gem in the memo about the move: Going forward, our strategy will focus on creating a family of devices and services for individuals and businesses that empower people around the globe
This is a beautiful and powerful statement what Apple is trying to do.
The new unified messaging app by Google: Hangouts (Copyright The Verge) The Google I/O keynote has just ended and although the Verge’s verdict is “The moonshots, it seems, will have to wait“, I think they’ve presented some great new and updated products. Even though they left Gmail
The more I hear the expression the less appropriate the term “post-PC” seems to me. Post-PC only makes sense in a historical view in which the Personal Computer (PC – and here including Macs) is defined as the computer as we know it: our desktop computer or laptop of choice. “Personal”
Recently the FT took a critical look at what apparently is being derided as “innovation tourism”: these organized tours of company executives spending a week in Silicon Valley and hoping to bring something useful back home. I plead guilty: Working for a media company mostly stuck in the analog world?
Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.
About the term “curation”: when I talk to journalists I always have to be like, ‘Actually, curation – it’s really what you guys have always done.’ It’s taking a lot of information, pulling out the relevant parts of it, giving context, and telling a story. About how traditional media

The normal distribution – beautiful curve and rules statistics and data Big data, small data, personal data, data infrastructure, data here, data there: I generally hate buzz word bingo. But for a change, I actually believe in the impact of data and clearly we have more data at our disposal than
